A quote from an article from EESI – Environmental and Energy Study Group. Such an enormous amount of money in only a single year! “”There are many kinds of costs associated with fossil fuel use in the form of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution resulting from the extraction and burning of fossil fuels.

This 12 minute PBS Weathered video explains wet bulb temperature and shows some good maps and graphs. She tells how humans (and other living things) cannot keep cool when the humidity rises and causes the wet bulb temperature to rise. The person’s core temperature rises and they have heat exhaustion or heat stroke. This can

Quote: “”Cement production is not carbon intensive solely due to energy use, but because heating limestone (CaCO₃) creates lime (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Even completely carbon-free energy cement production would contribute about 5% of the total global CO₂ emitted annually, at current levels of cement production. Cement will not be decarbonized without addressing both
